@Irishgirl555 I'm not sure which chicken you are referring to, I am not watching QVC tonight. However, I just received today an order of chicken patties with gravy. I am on AD for those as well as some chicken nuggets. We love them. They are really nice to have in the freezer for when you have unexpected guests. The chicken is great in salads, sandwiches or with the gravy.

My daughter and son-in-law were here last week, twice, I popped them in the air fryer and served them and both times the kids kept ranting and raving about them. They did the same thing about the patties I prepared about a year ago. In fact, my SIL loved them so much I gifted them for his birthday, an order of the chicken patties.

As someone mentioned, the chicken is not what brings the price up. Shipping frozen foods is very expensive. For my lifestyle these items work great.

In my opinion I don't think an item should be criticized unless it has been tried by them. Again, I'm not sure what chicken you were talking about but the value is there for me and I love having them handy in my freezer.

I would definitely pay that much for great tasting chicken - or any food for that matter - that I did not have to put a lot of prep time in. Well worth the money if you can afford it. Not for everyone though so just do not buy it! I would never pay a lot of money for jewelry or expensisve handbags or even fancy vacations as I think they are just a waste but some do like these things so why criticize others for what they buy and like???!!! Considering the packaging, dry ice, special shipping, not having to waste time seasoning and following a recipe and the little amount of time wasted spent to heat it up that is not a really bad price. Not everyone can or wants to cook a delicious meal. I know my time is way more valuable!

@cjm61 @Pook - I don't cook at all and having a prepared item ready to serve (or minimal prep) is worth every penny to me!

@San Antonio Gal I agree, if you don't really cook or like to cook many items the Q offers are great.

I actually like to cook, we rarely go out to eat. When family and friends come over I always cook something. I'm known for cooking for an "army". So having the chicken in the freezer ready to go is so handy. Many times my kids will stop over, unexpectedly, and will end up staying through dinner.

It's really not any different than going to the deli and purchasing food and sides already made. Or ordering take out from a restaurant.

We pay extra for the convenience factor. The ad usually says free shipping, but, trust me, free shipping isn't free.

Or ... you can buy the ingredients yourself, and make it from scratch.

The restaurant my son works at sells chicken marsala with a side of mashed potatoes and a few green beans for $28. If I was going to order it for delivery, with fees and tip, it would be $40.

This doesn't seem like an unreasonable price.

The Nutrition facts are 🥺🥺🥺🥺. The sodium and 28 grams of carbohydrates per serving are so laden with MSG and sugar, might as well eat bacon grease.🤣

There's no MSG listed in the ingredients and bacon grease doesn't have carbs so there's that.

Yeast extract I was told to avoid because it has MSG. The ingredients in that chicken I would not feed my dog 🐶. Artery clogging sludge.

Thankfully, we are not forced to buy it.

Chicken is so easy to cook and I am happy that I can make it just the way Iike it.

I am not even tempted to buy precooked or prepared food from anywhere at anytime.

I mean, they both contain glutamates. You might be sensitive to it, but it's a perfectly safe food additive. While a steady diet of Corky's won't do you any favors, one meal doesn't cause sludge to clog your arteries.
